Library Lion By Michelle Knudsen.
I am a sucker for beautiful art in kids books. This one is full of acrylic and pencil drawings that will just melt your heart. The story is just as beautiful and heartwarming. It is centered around this lion, no one knows where he came from. He walks into a library, and starts looking around at the books, sniffing the shelves, and finally finds the children’s sections. He decides to take a nap and when he wakes up, story time is going on. He loves every minute of it. When it is done, he becomes upset and roars. Well, we all know the number one rule of the library: no loud noises. So, the head librarian makes him a deal; if you don’t roar, you may come back for story time every day. It is such a cute book. I went over to the children’s section of my store one day, sat down to read it and by the end I had six children sitting around me. My family has a tradition to give books out at baby showers as we are all big readers. This may become my next gift book.

So, I have finished HP7. I would like to review it, but I don’t want to be killed by anyone who hasn’t read it. So I may wait another week before reviewing it. Let me just say it was really good and ended in a way that I liked. I am currently reading Whiskey and Water: A Novel of the Promethean Age by Elizabeth Bear. This is the sequel to Blood and Iron: A Novel of the Promethean Age. So far, really good. Little different from the first, but same world and same characters. The other one I am reading is Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch. I seem to be in a sequel mood this week. This is the sequel to The Lies of Locke Lamora From what I have read so far it seems to pick up shortly after the last book. Scott, if you read this, my mother demands a third book. Hopefully I will have those out soon.
